Police are appealing for information after two men reported being threatened when they asked a group of off-road bikers to leave their land.

Nottinghamshire Police said the riders were challenged on land off Squires Lane in Kings Clipstone, Nottinghamshire, at about 11:15 GMT on 17 January.

In an appeal shared on Saturday, the force said the two landowners reported being threatened with a piece of wood.

They also told police a bike was driven at one of them "in an aggressive manner" before the riders left.

Sgt Christian Hurley, from the Sherwood neighbourhood police team, said: "While nobody sustained any injuries, the aggressive actions that reportedly took place in this encounter were completely unacceptable."

Anyone with information about the riders is urged to call the police.
